This is a street Carnivale, opening up the week of Carnivale. John Hawthorne and Helena arrive, and watch the festivities.
Chorus Carnivale (Carnivale) Time for Celebrating
Carnivale (Carnivale) Let’s go masquerading
We can wear our costumes now and party till the morning hour
Bringin on Fat Tuesday now and sin our woes away!
Carnivale (Carnivale) Party ‘fore the masses
Carnivale (Carnivale) ‘til we cross ourselves with ashes
Rich or poor we all escape, and know by Easter we’ll be saved.
Nothin’ like Amazing Grace to get you off the hook!
